Hello there, ladytarot99! Happy lunar new year!

Sorry, been super busy with niece’s wedding preparations and also much family drama when she came back for CNY (she’s just left for the UK today) - and I was away in Hong Kong to celebrate the CNY with my side of the family and only just got back a week ago.

Anyway, to answer the question:

How much did I have when I was in my 30s? (That was nearly 20 years ago) No more than RM100,000 - I had to support my youngest brother’s education on a registrar’s pay after my mother, followed by my father passed away from illnesses.

Luckily I was already working in Singapore then, and made a decent salary, with performance bonuses and my fixed specialist allowance thrown in.

My story is not unlike your husband’s - studied on a Colombo Commonwealth Scholarship, fully funded with a generous monthly stipend which of course, I saved. My first Masters was self-funded (I was already working as a junior doctor in Singapore then), but my subsequent Masters and Fellowships were institution-sponsored, in return for a fixed service term. I was lucky in that I had kind supervisors that didn’t steal credit and acknowledged my hard work. I was luckier that I also had consultants that gave me the opportunities to take on responsibilities to show what I was capable of doing, and I was lucky that Singapore was a country with a system that practiced meritocracy and recognized and rewarded talent and results.

Anyway, it’s not what you have that matters. It’s what you do with what you have that is more important, IMHO.

Keep safe in these uncertain times. I won’t have much time to pop in as much as I’d like - family/my niece’s wedding commitments and planning and this Coronavirus outbreak will be keeping me honest and busy for a while!

Hi doc, glad to hear you are doing well out there. Well.. both off you similar I think.. self made, himself/his family also never spent any cents from highschool till PhD. And I definitely agree with you.. ..”it’s what you do with your money is most important...”. You guys take care..! Warm regards to your dearest one 🌹🌷.

Doc, you are back safely.

My respect to you for being a Colombo Commonwealth Scholar, a rare gem. My ex colleague who retired from our company was one, a brilliant chap like you.

Sorry about your double big loss.

Your story is too often to interesting.

You are about my age.

I dont have much but I set out to inspire my kids and a few people in my life before I go under.
